Holiday Memories: A Festive Party at My House
Be sure to visit my Instagram page and my Twitter page to see some of my holiday photos from this year.
This week, we're continuing with a selection of encore blog postings. Here's another wonderful holiday party. This originally ran on December 23, 2010.
I hosted a holiday party at my home in Bedford and invited family, friends, and neighbors. I know how busy everyone is at this time of year, but I really wanted to see as many people as possible. Therefore, I decided that the gathering would occur from 3 p.m. until 7 p.m., a time span that might be accommodating for most of those invited. I’m happy to say that it was a very good idea, as guests arrived promptly at 3 p.m. with others streaming in a bit later. Several people lingered until 8 p.m. and ate just about every delicious morsel that Chef Pierre created.
